I don't think the result would have been any different but the atmosphere probably would be a bit less poisonous. You may have a point there but Clinton remains my litmus test. I mean, there was a President who knew how to talk their talk and schmooze them. Very popular with European audiences, I understand. Did the French treat his proposals any better? No. And in some cases the end result was that Clinton didn't manage to do what he tried to do. IMO, Clinton's FP players weren't as strong, and much of his policy seemed to be formulated on an ad hoc basis. In this case, Bush is really determined to get results, which means he would really have to bang some heads together even if his entire administration were diplomatic geniuses. So I don't know how much of difference it would have made.
